Older housing is common in South Pasadena, around 87% built before 1980, so leftover chemicals turn up when homes are cleared out or sold. South Pasadena is fairly dry, at about 20 inches of precipitation a year, so a chemical spill on soil may linger in place until it is removed.
A typical chemical & toxic waste cleanup job includes:

- Advice on records that insurers, buyers, lenders and inspectors often ask for
- Absorbent materials and barriers placed to stop a spill from spreading

What are the health risks of chemical exposure?
Chemicals can irritate or burn skin and eyes, harm the lungs and poison people who swallow them. Some give off fumes or catch fire. Call 911 in an emergency and Poison Control for exposure questions, and tell them the product name if known.
How are chemicals disposed of?

It depends on the substance, the amount, the spread and the disposal fees. Published ranges vary widely. The local team gives a real price after it sees the site or hears the details. Ask what is included and what could change.
